I bought the Horizon 7700 QCP three and a half years ago as a retirement present to myself (along with a cruise/land tour of Alaska). I am still in love with my 7700. I do general sewing on it, mending, buttonholes - all kinds of stuff. I am also learning to free motion quilt on it. It's an awesome machine and I would have to think long and hard about trading it in for something else.
